Questions & Answers

Question:
What happens when I delete my account?
Answer:

It’s important to note that after deletion you cannot reactivate your account, recover any data, or regain access to your account. Any reservations you currently have as a host or a guest will automatically be canceled.

Question:
How long will it take for my account to actually be deleted?
Answer:

Airbnb will start working on your deletion request immediately after they receive it, but some of your data may remain in their systems due to other legal obligations. Instead of deleting certain data, Airbnb may de-identify or disassociate it so it no longer appears associated with you. Some information, such as your reviews and messages you sent to other users, may still be visible to others.

Question:
Is my data safe with Airbnb?
Answer:

Airbnb has recently updated their security after hackers imitated highly rated users to book stays and then steal from hosts.
